Enjoy these in Riedel glassware, with 2 Cabernet/Merlot glasses included.

Collection includes:

1 x Church Road Tom Hawke's Bay Chardonnay 2021

The 2021 Tom Chardonnay is a complex wine of great density. Aromas of fragrant citrus and riper stone fruit notes are overlaid with complexities of roasted hazelnut, warm pastry, with a wisp of struck flint smokiness. The palate is full bodied, yet finely structured, carried by a seam of fresh acidity and a slate like mineral edge that combine to give a sense of reigned in power delivered with focus and drive. With careful cellaring we expect this wine to continue to mature gracefully for 6 years or more from vintage date. With age, the wine will develop more complex, savoury nuttiness and will gain breadth and richness on the palate.

1 x St Hugo Barossa Shiraz 2018 (Australia)

AWARDED 95/100 POINTS: Tyson Stelzer, Halliday Wine Companion, 2022

AWARDED 95/100 POINTS: Ray Jordan, The West Australian

AWARDED 92/100 POINTS & SILVER MEDAL: National Wine Show of Australia

"Matured 18 months in (55% new) 90/10% French/American oak barrels. An impressive vintage for St Hugo, leading out with a full, vibrant purple hue. A deep, compact yet bright core of crunchy blackberries, black cherries and satsuma plum hails a great vintage in the Barossa. High-cocoa dark chocolate French oak has been strategically and expertly deployed for long-term endurance. Impressive promise" Tyson Stelzer, Halliday Wine Companion, 2022

"Comes from a number of growers throughout the region. There is a real brightness and life in here. It's a more elegant and stylish expression of shiraz than some in the Barossa with a slight ferruginous and linear structure. The south gives generosity and the north gives tannins and blackness. This was a very good year for the Barossa. It's 50% new French and it gets 18 months overall. There's a nice chalky tannin character threading through the mix of predominantly dark fruit with a lift of red fruit character. It has structure and power, and this is a wine that would age beautifully at between 8 to 12 years of age" Ray Jordan, The West Australian

A superb example of classic Barossa Shiraz. Bold, full-flavoured and complex, it offers great depth and silky tannins. Magnificent drinking now but will reward medium-term cellaring.

Alc: 14.5% - Seal: Screw cap

1 x Orlando Steingarten Eden Valley Riesling 2019 (Australia)

1 x Church Road 1 Hawke's Bay Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

"Complex, bold, varietal, smoky and toasty spices bouquet. An attention seeking aroma package leads to a full-bodied expression on the palate with flavours of roasted stone fruits and barrel spices, fine wood tannins and contrasting acid line. Peach and baked apple, grapefruit and quince, a touch of honey and tropical fruit. A delicious, fresh and textured wine ticking all the boxes of flavour and texture, power and panache" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, 2022

Church Road Grand Reserve Chardonnay is a blend of wines from their best vineyards in the Tuki Tuki river valley, grown and crafted to deliver a full bodied, yet refined wine. This cooler winegrowing district delivers beautifully fragrant Chardonnay with weight, minerality and fresh natural acidity.

1 x Church Road Grand Reserve Hawke's Bay Pinot Noir 2019

AWARDED GOLD MEDAL: Drinks Business Global Pinot Noir Masters 2022

Beautifully fragrant, the wine is built around a core of black cherry and berry fruit, overlaid with beautiful floral and spice notes. The oak is subtle, supporting the wine without dominating the fruit and there is an underlying mineral element. On the palate the wine is medium weight and supple with incredible textural length, combining elegance and finnesse with undeniable presence.
